Backup plan:
1- In case of offline situation: Just facilitate a discussion of different cultures.
2- In case we run out of time: Don't have student's visit each other's information and give them more work-time. Instead have them look at each other's for homework.
3- If we end earlier: We could extend the feedback section to take up more time.
4- In case the camera did not work: We have 3 other ones to use.
5- In case of having many computers on the left side that did not login: We would just have them log into four, one in each row, or go to the other side where computers hopefully work. Or have student's come up to the teacher's computer and work together.
